Abstract

A sprocket (30) is provided having a plurality of teeth (32) around its circumference. Adjacent teeth (32) are separated by roots (34) each having a root radius (R1, R2, or R3) defined as the distance between the center of the sprocket (30) and a point along the root (34) closest to the sprocket center in a radial direction. In one aspect of the invention, the sprocket (30) comprises at least two different root radii (R1, R2, and/or R3) arranged in a pattern effective to redistribute tensions imparted to a chain (80) by the sprocket (30) at one or more predetermined sprocket orders.
